Chapter 230: Battle.net Update Notice! (3-in-1 Grand Chapter)
(PS: This chapter is a 6000-word three-in-one chapter, with a huge amount of information and a lot of foreshadowing, so it's cool to read at one time.) )
Although in the game just now, Aunt Xueyan was forcibly taken away by Su Ming with a set of direct injuries, but this did not dampen her interest in this set of cards.
Or to put it more accurately, I feel even more excited!
Not to mention Xueyan, who has been playing shamans for so long, even most of the audience who have not met shamans can see that at least 8% of the winners and losers of this game are due to luck.
No matter which side of the two sides, if their faces are not so dark in the early stage of mutation and evolution, it is estimated that they will quickly resolve the battle with a wave of [bloodthirsty].
But the reality is that it is so full of randomness, and no one can say for sure whether it will be heaven or hell after "evolution".
I have to say that this is the fun of Darwinsa, each game has a new experience, unlike the "infinite fireball method" like the autistic form, the operation process, the means of slashing are always the same.
Therefore, Aunt Xueyan who came up from Xingtou simply drove Su Ming off the competition stage, forcibly occupied the computer, and took the initiative to take on the task of competing in a friendly match with other young players.
With such an amazing deck, of course, you have to try it a few more times!
……
However, what happened next was that this entertaining friendly match had to end early.
Because Glory Star, which has been silent for more than a month, has issued an announcement to the world without warning - Battle.net Update Notice!
This announcement message is directly pushed to all online Battle.net users, regardless of whether the opponent is in a state of battle or not, whether it is an official or LAN private server, it will be forced to pop Hearthstone.
Therefore, Aunt Xueyan, who was playing happily on the stage, was also kicked off the line mercilessly after receiving this sudden notice.
On the big screen, the interface of the original battle was instantly replaced by a detailed "Battle.net Update Notification".
The attention of everyone at the scene was also attracted by the important announcement at this moment, and they all turned their eyes to the big screen.
After all, this is the glory Star Wars network that determines everyone's fate, and even a little bit of wind and grass may affect hundreds of millions of players!
……
After Su Ming read the version update that was about to be implemented intently, he couldn't help but gasp, and was shocked by the big action of the star spirit.
While there aren't many card stats or effects to nerf and boost, there is almost a radical change in other aspects of the game.
The entire update announcement is roughly divided into 4 parts by the Star Spirit:
First of all, the change of the win-loss plus and minus points mechanism.
In the version that is about to become a thing of the past, the rules of ladder climbing are very monotonous, that is, the winner gets extra points, the loser deducts points, and the winning streak gets extra points.
This model cannot be said to be bad, because in fact, it is equivalent to piling up the scores of the weak on the strong, so that the latter can be promoted to a higher rank.
In the world before Su Ming traveled through, "Hearthstone" adopted this kind of rule, and it was even more simplified to a rough relegation and relegation such as adding 1 star for a win and 1 star for a loss.
The pure win-lose theory has a role that is not a side effect, that is, it will inevitably lead to the polarization of "ladder decks" and "entertainment decks".
Ladder decks are "top decks" that include Pirate Wars, Odd and Even Riders, Medium Hunting, Spell Hunting, Mechanics, Arcanes, and more, because their goal is simple: kill your opponent, win the game, and score extra points.
Some overly ladder card sets will even be scolded as "cancer card sets".
Entertainment card deck, refers to things like dirty herds, happy art and various black technology routines, and one of its biggest features is: when you encounter the "ladder card deck", it is basically a baby who is sent.
Being able to play the entertainment routine may indeed have a good game experience, but in front of the upper score deck that pursues "winning", they have no chance to play the routine at all, and they are killed and won.
It is precisely for this reason that Su Ming was actually a little worried about whether he would completely squeeze the living space of the entertainment card deck after he took out the "ladder card decks" of various professions.
After all, the Hearthstone of the Glory Star World is directly linked to the strength in reality, and only by obtaining a higher ladder level in the Hearthstone of the Battle Network can the real strength be broken through.
In this case, I am afraid that no one will want to go for "entertainment".
Strength is the foundation of everything, who is idle and has nothing to do with you to play black technology?
Isn't that a waste of time!
There is a dispute between the ladder deck and the entertainment deck, even if it is Su Ming's original world, it is just an ordinary game, and there are many people tearing it up, not to mention the glory star world?
In fact, in the past few days, Su Ming used Wall Virtue during the live broadcast, and he felt that the environment was changing imperceptibly.
Werewolf Warfare, Mechanical Method, and Medium-Speed Hunting are relatively low-cost, and the number of decks with strong scoring effects has increased significantly.
As for the "primitive card decks" used by the natives of the Glory Star World, and some routines such as "Dirty Pasture" that are not too strong in combat, after the initial short-lived, there are fewer and fewer players who use them.
Playing 10 ladders, the collisions are basically the "ladder card decks" of various professions taken out by Su Ming, and no one uses the entertainment battles at all!
If you continue to develop at this pace, if you wait until Pirate Wars, Odd Riders, Even Riders, Mad Dogs, Growling Dogs, and Zoo are all the way up the ladder, there really won't be any place for entertaining decks!
Don't forget, there's no such thing as a retreat and standard wildness in the world of Glory, and with all the decks competing on the same stage from ancient times to the present, the ladder environment will definitely be too bad to look at.
According to the principle of survival of the fittest, the last surviving deck must be a "cancer within a cancer".
Wipe out all the other decks, leaving only a handful of utilitarian upper decks to the top of the ladder.
This situation will probably be a fatal blow to the Glory Star World.
However, to Su Ming's surprise, in the version update of Glory Star, a very special method was used to solve this problem:
[In view of the diversification of the ladder environment, the Honor scoring system was officially launched for testing]
[Current version: V4.0.1]
[The results of the addition and subtraction of points after each game, in addition to the normal calculation of victory and loss, will be weighted according to the intelligent judgment mechanism of the "Glory Star Scoring System"]
[Different decks, under the protection of the "Glory Star Rating System", will have instant floating rewards or penalties for winning and losing]
[The performance of the players on both sides, including but not limited to foreshadowing, wonderful operations, and PY, will affect the final score under intelligent judgment]
[It's not just the deck that determines the score, it's also the players who play the deck]
Below this announcement, there is a brief introduction to the "Glory Star Scoring System".
The scoring system acts as a super-intelligent adjudicator and evaluates each game.
For example, if a player uses an odd-numbered ride to defeat Evolved Sa, under the original mechanic, the match will increase the ladder score of the odd-numbered rider by 50 points, and the ladder score of the Evolved Sa player will be reduced by 50 points;
However, under the intelligent judgment of the "Glory Star Scoring System", which is difficult to explain with current technology, the odd number of rides is a big advantage game, so only 15 points can be added to the win, and the deduction of points after the failure of Evolution Sa is capped at 10 points;
If the odd rider loses the game, it may deduct up to 80 points, and the bonus points of Evolution may also be as high as 90 points;
In addition, in the course of the competition, there will be additional judgments for the players' foreshadowing operations and wonderful operations;
For example, if you make the most of your hand resources in a big headwind situation, and the player who lasts until the last minute as much as possible will get extra points, or if you have a foreshadowing advantage in a big tailwind, then even if you win with a deck suppression, the bonus points will be reduced accordingly;
In short, this is a pure "black technology system" that combines the entire ladder and dynamically adjusts the environment with intelligent judgment!
The update notice for Glory Star doesn't clearly state how this thing works, but it will be officially launched after the 8-hour shutdown update.
After Su Ming finished reading this first update, his feeling was quite recognized.
He traveled through the previous world, and technology could not reach this level of "intelligence", unable to determine what was a good or bad game, nor could he score the player's actions, so he had to simply and brutally adopt a one-size-fits-all approach, adding stars if he won and dropping stars if he lost.
However, the system that the Glory Star World began to operate will undoubtedly "purify" the ladder environment to a large extent.
Players who are good at using the utilitarian "upper score card group" can still use this to score points, but they need to pay more wins to achieve the previous effect of closing their eyes and scoring points;
In the past, those hard-working "point babies", although they may not be able to win in the game, but after winning with wonderful operations, the rewards they get can be basically the same as the "upper score card group";
In other words, players can choose the deck they are good at or like based on their preferences to engage in ladder battles, without worrying about being pushed to the level 20 subsistence line by the "Cancer Deck".
"Cancer" was chosen for the sake of scoring points, and when this can be accomplished with the Natal Card Deck, the environment of the ladder will also enter true diversity.
A real ladder of "a hundred flowers blooming" or "dancing demons" is already close at hand!
……
As for the second article of the follow-up announcement, it is also a very exciting news, and it has a lot of linkage with the first message:
[Players will be able to earn power points based on their performance in the game regardless of whether they win or lose]
[Power points can be directly exchanged for the embodied form of the cards in the deck according to the dynamic price marked by the Glory Star]
[The embodied cards redeemed through this method are in the state of consciousness binding, and cannot be traded through the regular encapsulation method]
[Energy points can be traded, after the Battle.net update, the original "card pool" will be automatically added to the energy point exchange interface and online trading platform]
The moment Su Ming saw the second message, he realized that this update was ...... It is very likely to directly change the pattern of the whole world!
The first change only affects the ladder environment, and it doesn't change much from the real world, but the second one is different!
As we all know, ordinary civilian players in the world of Glory Star basically have no possibility of putting together a concrete "ladder deck", and even all-blue and white decks such as "Medium Speed Hunting" and "T7 Hunting" are unlikely to be built in reality.
The biggest difficulty is: poverty!
With the exception of a few qualifiers in your life, if you want to get a card, you either have the best luck to open a pack or kill monster drops, or you have to trade it with others in the market.
Since Su Ming popularized the "T7 Hunting" card set, the price of related single cards on the market has soared, and the price of the embodied [Flying Knife Juggler] has reached the point of tens of millions of soft girl coins.
Not to mention the Spell Hunt and Infinite Fireball Method, which require a lot of expensive builds of purple epic cards and orange legendary cards.
This is simply not a price that ordinary players can afford!
The large-scale chaebol world, with hundreds of years of inherited wealth and card heritage, they still have the opportunity to complete part of the construction of the various card decks that Su Ming took out in reality, but in fact, it is difficult to make a "complete form".
After all, legendary cards are just too hard to play.
However, now that the exchange channel of "Power Points" has been launched, ordinary people and big forces have a way to become stronger!
Needless to say, as long as there is a way to "trade", it is a problem that can be solved with money, so it is not a problem.
Ordinary people brush "energy points" and then sell them to big forces, similar to the job of "moving bricks" in some online games, it is estimated that it will become a new profession, and the career prospects are broad.
Hearthstone players who don't have the ability to fight have a new option outside of the ordinary industry, which is to farm "power points" for other combat players full-time!
A whole set of market processes around "power point" trading is simply full of opportunities!
As for the civilian players, they also have a solid growth channel.
Civilian players first build a virtual version of the natal card deck on the battle network, and then use this deck to play a ladder for several years, and with the accumulated power points, they can be exchanged for any card in the deck.
The embodiment of the wall virtue, the embodiment of the infinite fireball method, the embodiment of the present version of the happiness technique...... The lack of cards and fewer cards will no longer be a problem that limits the actual combat effectiveness!
This means that even civilians who do not have the support of any forces can use their own persistent efforts to embark on the road of becoming stronger!
In the original world pattern, ordinary people want to become strong, even if they have very good talents, if they don't take refuge in big forces, they won't have funds, and without funds, they won't have the way to get the cash cards they need, and they will be at the bottom of the class pyramid after all.
But now, the passage to climb up from the bottom of the pyramid has suddenly opened up after this "Battle.net version update"!
Of course, the progress of the big forces will be faster, after all, they can save the process of "accumulation over time" through acquisitions.
At the same time, this also means that the content taught by Su Ming in the live broadcast can not only be used in the virtual battle of Battle.net, but can also be moved into reality now!
Visible to the naked eye, not only is the ladder environment full of flowers, but the players in reality, whether poor or rich, will usher in real spring in this version update!
……
The third update content in the follow-up is still linked to the previous news, but the specific news makes Su Ming's heart move.
[From now on, any "New Deck Build" officially certified by Glory Star will automatically record the identity of the founder]
[When all players use a new deck (including the fine-tuned version), 1% of the power points earned will be used as a reward for the founder and will be credited to the founder's Battle.net account]
[Founder status can be authorized and transferred to other accounts]
The attitude of the Star Spirit reflected in this update is very clear, in addition to the original one-time [Lucky Coins] reward, there is now an additional reward for the act of "creating a deck".
As long as the deck created by the creator is played by enough people, it means that the "originator" can earn "power points" every day even if he doesn't play the ladder!
Don't look at it as just one percent, if millions of people around the world use it, the cumulative result of a huge base...... It's horrible!
Moreover, Su Ming feels a little wrong, because the deck construction of this world obviously has a huge shady scene, so at present, the biggest beneficiary of the "founder identity" who is still alive in the world is probably him Su Ming!
Su Ming didn't have to turn his head to feel that at least eighty percent of the eyes and lines of sight at the scene were focused on him.
After he took out the shaman's deck just now, it was a real nine-class all creation deck, and this achievement, which could only be exchanged for dozens of [Lucky Coins], would inevitably bring Su Ming a steady stream of huge benefits after 8 hours!
Not to mention anything else, just the two sets of card sets of medium-speed hunting and werewolf warfare, the number of users in Huaguo has exceeded 10 million!
After the implementation of the first two updates, when other various card decks also have people to practice and accumulate energy points as natal card decks, Su Ming, as the "founder", is really earning to fly.
Su Ming even had a feeling that this update announcement should not be made specifically for him!
If the first two pieces of information are balancing the environment and changing the real-world landscape, the third update ...... The directivity is very obvious.
"Hee-hee, Lord Host, by now you should know what the so-called large amount of energy means~"
Especially when the elf's words sounded in Su Ming's mind, he was completely sure of this.
It is indeed a very stable method of obtaining a large amount of energy, and there is no need for Su Ming to do anything else, as long as the card decks in his memory are displayed one by one, leading the people of the Glory Star World forward, it is enough for Su Ming to make a fortune!
That's probably ...... The legendary "human leader"?!
"Elf, the energy points in the update and the energy points of the system are the same thing? Also, what's going on with this Battle.net update? ”
Anyway, the conversation at the consciousness level would never be overheard by others, so Su Ming simply boldly asked the elf directly.
"Na...... The two can be considered the same thing, but the energy provided by the Glory Star is a diluted version, about 100,000 points to exchange for 1 point of system energy, which is the 100,000:1 version. The elf's crisp voice sounded again: "As for the second problem with the host, the system data shows that this should be caused by a certain condition being triggered. ”
Su Ming listened, and couldn't help frowning slightly: "A certain condition? Does it have anything to do with me? ”
"I don't know, the system doesn't record this method."
Listening to the elf's words, Su Ming didn't know whether the other party really didn't know or only said half of the words, but the elf provided him with a lot of very useful information, which can be regarded as one step ahead.
It feels like since he came to the Gold Alliance, the system has been promoted to level 3, and he has officially escaped the novice protection period, as if he has touched some switch, and many incidents have happened one after another.
The incarnation of the Glory Star, the Star Spirit, appeared, and the first fluctuations of the spatial rift came out of the same white hedron as the raw material of the crate......
The good news, at least for now, is that the Battle.net update is changing things for the better.
Improving the overall strength of the players in the Glory Star World, making the ladder environment more diverse, and this third one seems to be the "Founder's Benefit" that serves him.
Su Ming is very sure, as long as he is given enough time, he can definitely use these convenient conditions to improve his strength to the point where he is not afraid of any existence!
……
Finally, the fourth update is not so eye-catching compared to the previous exciting news, because it is a direct modification of the game's content.
The news of weakening [Underground Cavern] and strengthening the [Blazing Battle Axe] two single cards has been officially announced.
[Explore the Underground Cave] changed from 4 followers with the same name to 5/5, to 5 followers with the same name to 4/4;
[Blazing Tomahawk] returned to 2 mana and returned to its peak state of 3 attack/2 durability.
All affected users, compensation card packs and full dust return or something, are basic operations, so I won't mention them again.
Of course, to Su Ming's surprise, in this weakening, unlike [Pirate Patches], only Su Ming and Saki Shimagaki knew, and the [Charge], whose popularity had spread, escaped without any signal of balance.
However, combined with the updated "Glory Star Intelligent Scoring System", Su Ming probably also had a guess in his heart, and it is estimated that the werewolf battle deck should not be weakened in the Glory Star world and can survive for a long time.
Anyway, even if it has a relatively high win rate, limiting the number of points it can earn for winning is enough to prevent it from dominating the ladder.
……
At the same time, as the announcement of the Glory Star was pushed to the world, forces and ordinary players around the world also took action because of this historic version update.
With eight hours to go, no one wants to be left behind in this epochal change!
All of a sudden, the storm surged!
